Best Answer

Because of his ethical practices.

While trying to gain India's independance from British rule, Gandhi not only forbade his followers to use violence, he forbade them to curse or defame their opponents. India was freed from British occupation without a shot fired or a man killed...the greatest victory of non-violence in modern times.
